The government’s plan for expanding Heathrow is the equivalent of bolting an airport virtually the size of Gatwick onto the existing airport.

It isn’t compatible with our climate commitments, even if we meet our hugely optimistic targets for sustainable aviation fuels.

The UK government is still considering whether to support this project.

It's a carbon timebomb and linked to horrific human rights abuses and accusations of war crimes.

The government must say no.

It must be my turn to be prime minister of France soon.

🎊 This week French MPs passed a new law to #BanPFAS in several consumer products.

Bold actions needed from the Prime Minister on #netzero says the Guardian

Today's the anniversary of the world's first legally binding climate targets.

Been watching COP29 with grim fascination. It’s like a cross between a fossil fuel trade fair and a gathering of officials whose objective is to avoid committing to a level of climate finance that would leave us with a fighting chance of tackling climate breakdown.

Official FoE view from Mike C:

The government is launching the Global Clean Power Alliance to speed up the global transition to clean energy - but it's still considering funding the Mozambique LNG project, a carbon timebomb linked with horrific human rights abuses.

The per person cost is more than twice what someone under 25 gets in universal credit for a month. Maybe James Cleverly could donate the equivalent of what was paid for him to a local foodbank?

Recent court judgments mean the legal basis for government financing of the Mozambique LNG project is now much weaker and potentially unlawful, says a letter to UKEF from Friends of the Earth's lawyers.

The current government can set right the wrongs of the past administration by refusing to approve UK public funding for this carbon timebomb that’s linked to horrifying atrocities and human rights abuses in #Mozambique
